"What is it that sets Silicon Valley apart from everything else you've experienced?"
It was Dr.Tony Tan, Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister that had asked my 'recently returned from the valley' MBA class that question, way back in 2001.
"Fearlessness," I had responded. "They are unafraid to fail. I believe it is a quality that has to be nurtured....not copied."
Ironical therefore that I caught myself repeating the same statement to my reflection in the mirror this morning.
Why am I letting go of my need to be innovative? Why am I letting the environment get the better of me? Does self-motivation not suffice? Can FATIGUE be an excuse?
Questions that are key to the debate on employee engagement.
